The series "Interdependent Balancing Act" explores the delicate balance between life on our planet. It is a struggle of survival for humans, nature and animals.

The figures found on my thrown vessels are bound together. Human to human or human to the living earth, water and air. The images of birds of the air, fish of the water and tilled soil in the grasps of humans wrap around the vessels symbolizing our ever-changing world. My work explores the need to respect this interdependent web that we live in and the responsibility we as humans have to keep the world in balance.
